Stanton SCS-3D DaScratch USB Controller Performance Control Surface

Stupid system was freaking out at this post so I had to redo it :(

Direct from Stanton is the new SCS-3D also known as “DaScatch,” which is a horrible name. I have no idea what they were thinking by calling it that, but I hope someone got fired over it. Loads of hype was built around this “Performance Control Surface” and early information was leaked onto the internet with the crappy name. This looks to me like it is a simple setup for running your current music library and would be great for the dj on the go. This would allow you to not have to carry loads of equipment with you as you travel and could be setup on a coffee table.

Demo below is from StantonDJ.com

Additional demo working with Scratch Live

Personally using Scratch Live with turntables, it would be tough for me to switch to this product solely. However, this product offers great potential, would be a great add-on to an existing system and doesn’t require much extra gear, other than a laptop and software, which you could get for free. For someone that travels a lot, does hosue parties or doesn’t want to spend a fortune on mixers, turntables and other equipment, this looks like a great system. Until I use it though, I still love my Scratch Live and Technics. I will be excited to see updates to this product once any initial bugs get worked out.
